US District Court Judge requests comment on CCD's DC write-in votes case

United States District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan has written a letter to the Justice Department and the United States Attorneys’ Office requesting comment on the “important questions of constitutional law” raised by Libertarian Party, et al. v. District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics, which CCD filed on August 7, 2009. The lawsuit challenges the failure of D.C. elections officials to compute and certify valid votes for qualified write-in candidates.
